Grounding

During the presentation Ruwan mentioned that I hadn't thought about how the megastructure meets the ground. That's true, generally I hadn't thought of enough detail for the megastructure, it was still more of a concept while I had thought more about the Citizens' House.

Thinking about it now I missed a great opportunity as I was looking the Metropol Parasol in Seville by J. Mayer H. Architects and really admired that was they had detailed the transition from the lightweight looking timber structure to the hard stone ground.





























My design of course would be different as the transition is from a heavy futuristic megastructure to the soft grassy slopes and mosaic around parliament house.
